Welcome!

On behalf of University of Illinois Extension and the staff serving Clay, Effingham, Fayette and Jasper Counties I want to personally thank you for your continued support.

During the past year Extension embarked on the questions of “what do we do and why does it matter?” I can answer those two questions by stating that our commitment remains strong to bring you relevant, reliable and responsive education to improve lives and economies throughout the communities we live, work and play. University of Illinois Extension continues to adapt to meet the local needs of our clientele and will continue to serve our local communities for years to come. Extension is part of the solution to the challenges we face in Illinois, and we are looking forward to addressing those challenges with our local partners.

Visit our website often for upcoming programing, calendar of events, new releases and additional research based information. I look forward to our continued relationship as we build for the future.
